An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Think about it, if it indeed comes to pass that every TV channel here in the Philippines becomes unified under one umbrella, it'd be a lot easier to pressure them to do what the government tells them they do. They could minimize, or flat out refuse news coverage from government scandals, for example.
It's a win for the government if that happens, sure, but not one I'd like to see being announced in a grand manner in a SONA.
